South Korea's Master Sculptor of Buddha Statues

People of South Korea:

Up in the hills in his quiet studio, Master sculptor Jin Hyung Lee gently carves the clay cast of his latest statue, the dragon king. “You probably know Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva – she has assistants, and one is a young boy – the dragon king…he’s a symbol of the sea,” he says. Jin Hyung Lee has been sculpting Buddha statues for about 45 years. “I’m the only one in South Korea who is officially designated as a master sculptor of Buddha statues.”
